AWS Security Hub now integrates with AWS Firewall Manager. AWS Firewall Manager is a security management service which allows you to centrally configure and manage AWS WAF, AWS Shield Advanced, and Amazon VPC Security Group rules across your accounts and applications in AWS Organizations. AWS Firewall Manager’s integration with Security Hub will send four types of findings to Security Hub: (1) resources that are not properly protected by WAF rules; (2) resources that are not properly protected by Shield Advanced; (3) Shield Advanced findings that indicate a Distributed Denial of Service attack is underway; and (4) security groups that are being used incorrectly. AWS Security Hub will automatically enable this integration if you are already using Firewall Manager, and you will begin receiving findings from Firewall Manager without any action needed on your end.
